Baby Girl's braids!
Dave W.

Braids by Nia is pound for pound my favorite hair joint for any and all baby girl's look. Nia is warm, hospitable, and incredibly quick! In the few times I've been in, she's taken care of my daughters hair in record timing. I've seen her do what two people can braid in half the time! Don't believe me? Come, see for yourself! To everyone who works at the shop and especially you, Nia, Thank you!

No words...

Readers, the pix speak for themselves. I posted a pic of the style she was attempting. If she's saying that the other stylists thought that my hair did in fact look like the pictures (they said no such thing), you may wanna stay clear of them as well. Whats sad is that she took the time to write up an elaborate lie/excuse, rather than take responsibility for the mess she made. Says worlds about her (non-existent) professionalism and customer service skills. In any case, even if you choose to believe her version of events, like I said, the pics speak for themselves. Update: be aware that if you post a negative review, she'll start sending you wierd private messages (posted screenshots). Blocking the psycho.

Love my Dutch braids ! So happy with Nia. Thank you so much!

So happy with my Dutch braids! Nia heard and saw what I wanted and delivered it beautifully like a true artist! Can't wait to be back and try something else next time. Thank you so much !

Knotless Braids

I had the best experience, visiting Nia at the salon. I received a 5 star luxury shampoo before my braid service. My hair felt so healthy and moisturized, i almost didn't even want to braid it up after. My braids came out so great, and she was so sweet and accommodating, i will definitely be returning!

Nia you are amazing ! I am so happy I found you. You are so kind and talented. I had the best experience in your salon. My hair looks beautiful and I feel so confident all thanks to you! Can't wait to visit you again!

Empty shop

Very unprofessional and sad...I made an appointment 2wks in advance and called 1 day beofre the appointment and confirmed. Nia didn't show up or contact me. I sat outside the businesses waiting 1hr not to mention the time it took me to drive there. Time is money and both were wasted. Its sad becuase id like to support black businesses but this is not a good look for the cuase.

Day 3 and it still looked good!

Hello, I am looking for someone who is experienced with non ethnic hair(I was told it matters by last stylist)? I am hoping to get two Dutch braids with added in hair. Do you guys provide the hair? And how much do you charge?…

So sorry that you were denied because of your ethnicity. But I am an experienced.braider in ALL types of hair. When are you looking to book an appointment?

I had originally intended to come in for just a cut, but after talking with Gina and getting her insight, I decided to get a perm as well. She kind enough to be able to fit me in for a perm even though I initially booked for a haircut. My hair is naturally very straight and having texture and volume was always something I desired. I was initially hesitant when she suggested a perm because I had gotten very tight curls before, but Gina did an amazing job. Her skill and eye for style sent me out of the salon looking like a completely different person! I highly recommend paying Gina a visit if you're looking for just a cut or if you're looking to switch up your style. You won't leave disappointed! I will definitely be back!

She really knows how to style men's hair and keep it looking fresh and natural. Very clean & stylish. I've been looking for a barber, and glad I found Gina instead. I was recommended by my friend. I loved my first haircut! Now i come back. I think finding an excellent hairstylist like Gina is so worth it. I only wish Gina's location was closer, but again, worth the drive for a great haircut! 5 stars!!!

Finding the salon was easy and there was parking right out front, which made it even better. I stay in South Pasadena on weekends at my boyfriend's house, so I decided to give it a try. EJ was incredibly kind and welcoming. I arrived a few minutes early while he was finishing with another client, and he saw me right at my appointment time. He also offered drinks and snacks, which I really appreciated because I definitely needed the caffeine boost that day. He washed my hair and gave me the trim I desperately needed, removing all my split ends while still keeping my hair long just like I asked. I'm always nervous about losing too much length, but he really listened and delivered exactly what I wanted. His station was also very cute and calming, with plants around the mirror and a dream catcher. I deal with anxiety, so I really appreciated his relaxing energy during the appointment. I usually get my trims done in Beverly Hills with my longtime stylist, and I was pleasantly surprised that the price here was about the same -- $120, which is pretty standard for a good trim in Beverly Hills as well. Since I happened to be in the area, I thought "why not?" and I'm really glad I did because it turned out to be such a pleasant experience.

I even asked her to style my hair for my wedding, which says it all. Ruby is incredibly warm and friendly, making every session feel like catching up with a friend, but she also brings a focused precision to her work that is unmatched. She has such a cool, sophisticated taste and is amazing at helping me consider new cuts and colors whenever I'm feeling up for a change. I absolutely love that I can just walk into her chair and not have to worry about a thing, knowing I'm in the best hands. If you are looking for a stylist who is both incredibly talented and wonderful to be around, Ruby is the absolute best!

I was really specific with the cut I wanted because I don't like my hair too short and Ami really listened and delivered!! She specializes in haircuts/styles that are long lasting and look better as it grows out without needing much styling - perfect for me since I never have time to style my hair before work. Lots of free parking in the parking lot. They have gendered restrooms, couches to wait on, and Ami even offered me water, teas, and snacks during my visit. She's so sweet! The Union Salon South space is an absolute gem. It's so beautiful with lots of windows, open brick concept, and lots of wonderful stylists walking around. Highly highly recommend Ami - she really listens to what her customers want and isn't pushy with any products.

She consistently gives me the most amazing razor-cut shags that don't require the extra curling and blow-drying I've seen other stylists have to do to make it even resemble a shag. I can wake up, put some Hairstory products in, and I'm good to go. The way Rae cuts my hair gives it texture and shape, making it less bulky and complimenting my round face. She also gives me the most fantastic curtain bangs, fringe, and wings to flip out my hair. I recently took a new driver's license photo, and thanks to Rae's haircut, it was the first DMV picture I didn't massively hate. She's trained by Jayne from Edo, the Shag Queen that you've probably seen all over Instagram and TikTok, but it doesn't cost a fortune. Plus, Rae is the nicest, most down-to-earth stylist, so it's always good to see her, and the space in Highland Park is very chill. I've definitely been to IG famous hairstylists that made me feel like I was beneath them and gave me a super underwhelming cut. I'm more than happy to make the drive from South LA to Highland Park because Rae's cuts are that good and when I'm out, I always get a lot of compliments on my hair, too.

Even after four years, I still have a bad feeling about this hairdresser when she somehow comes…read moreacross my digital world. After my first and only appointment, she left me with bangs that had some strange long pieces on one side that went over and kept poking in my eye. Not only did it not look right aesthetically (others later confirmed what I was seeing), it was physically annoying. Although everything else was great as far as the cut, this was clearly an oversight that, for whatever reason, neither of us did noticed at the time of the appointment. Frankly, although Rae does not charge as much as many very expensive hair stylists, she is *not* inexpensive and this was the most that I've ever paid for a haircut. I felt that I should not have to correct anything myself plus I did not want to mess with her work at all. After contacting her about this very small matter, as I was willing to make the effort to go back to her to have this corrected, she ghosted me. Instead of being agreeable and embodying all of the positive things she purports to believe in and represent via her Instagram page, she apparently decided that I would be "a difficult client." (And apparently this is a thing with hairdressers, as I found mention of this on a hairdressing professionals site.) There was absolutely no consideration for my feelings. I am far from a difficult client. But the client should be happy, and she could've done a couple of snips and that would've been that. Instead... After receiving no reply via phone after leaving her a couple of messages, I finally had to find her on Instagram and sent her a photo of my obviously uneven bangs. Apparently now fearing that I would post something negative to her account or leave a bad review somewhere, she offered to refund the entire cost of the haircut rather than make this quick fix. I was floored. While happy to not have to end up paying my hard-earned money to someone who basically was cruel to me via her respect for only her feelings with none for me, I knew that she was paying me off. As I didn't want to spend any more time or energy on this or her, she's been successful with that until now. But she's come up again, and I can see all of these great reviews and the feelings of rejection have returned. So I must be such an asshole to deserve to be treated like one, right? No. Our session together was perfectly normal, and Rae just cannot accept that she could make such a small oversight and that a client may not be 100% happy with her work--i.e. she exists beyond reproach. She's an artist, mind you! If you can be happy with that, yes she does good work and it seems that most of the time she gets it right with clients (particularly if they have lots of Instagram followers, I suspect but cannot ascertain) or they just don't bother or feel comfortable mentioning any dissatisfaction. I just don't like people thinking they can treat others like trash because they are an artist in some high-priced field. It's a fucking haircut attached to a human being. Just be a nice person and have some grace.
